FLASH: Rumbling, Shaking Text

[Syed Junaid Ahmed]

Hello my dear fellow flashers :)


I would like to thank Marc Hoffman, and Cheri Harder for guiding me and

telling me what I needed to know about Tell Targets etc. I have yet to

implement it on my main webstie that I am working on. will post it up as

soon as it is in beta mode.


for now I have yet another question, this is regarding some text

manipulation etc.


how would I get the text to rattle and shake in one place would this be done

using the tweening function with lots of keyframes? I am not sure and

haven;t tried it yet.


any how I also would like to thank Rita Brum for sharing those three

websites regarding the dennis interactive text effect. I got a lot of cool

looking text effects from that site. which have taught me a lot :)


also one more question how can I create the ray of light effect I have seen

the effect in action here is the link:

I figured out the regular words but how can I create the light effect?


well thats all for now.

here is something I made last night

thank you once again


this is the BEST, THE BEST, group I;ve ever known


thanks a lot
